The Lincoln Legacy
The Lincoln Legacy History runs deep in Washington County. Not only is it the first county established in Kentucky, and home to the 1816 Courthouse, the oldest courthouse still in use in the commonwealth, it is where the Lincoln Legacy truly began. The Lincoln Legacy is shrouded in mystery, but historians agree it all began right here in Washington County. Nancy Hanks and Thomas Lincoln, Abraham Lincoln’s parents, moved from Virginia to Washington County in 1782, just after the Revolutionary War, as children. Thomas Lincoln’s grandfather, Abraham Lincoln senior, settled on 300 acres of land in what is known today as the Pleasant Grove area. He brought Thomas and his siblings to join him on the new homestead. Nancy Hanks was sent by her mother Lucy Hanks along with several siblings to live with the Berry family. She grew up with the Lincolns because the Berry and Lincoln families were close friends. Thomas and Nancy were married on June 12, 1806, in Washington County. The marriage license is on file at the Courthouse. The young couple moved to what was then Hardin County and began building a home in the community of Hodgenville. Although Hodgenville is known as Abraham Lincoln’s birthplace, many historians believe he was actually born in Washington County, at one of the Berry homes, while the home in Hodgenville was still being built. The rest, they say, is history. Abraham Lincoln went on to become a lawyer, senator, and eventually the 16th President of the United States. Despite having deep roots in Washington County, he only received one vote in the county during the 1860 presidential election. If you would like to learn more about the Lincolns and their time in Washington County, visit the Lincoln Legacy Museum. It is housed in the historic 1816 Courthouse at 110 N. Cross Street in downtown Springfield. The courthouse became the home of the Lincoln Legacy Museum after the marriage certificate of Thomas and Nancy Hanks Lincoln was found in the records 13 years after Abraham Lincoln’s death.

The Lincoln Legacy
The museum houses other memorabilia connected to the Lincoln family along with a glass case featuring five mock replicas of Lincoln from five separate artist who competed for the opportunity to build a cast iron model for the city. Paula Slater from California was chosen as the winner and her final piece stands at eight-feet-tall across the way in front of the Justice Center. Slater also constructed the cast iron bust of Lincoln which sits inside the courthouse. The Lincoln Legacy Museum is open Thursday – Saturday 11 a.m. – 6 p.m. and Sunday noon to 4 p.m. Group tours are available by appointment. Then continue your journey into the Lincoln legacy by visiting the Lincoln Homestead State Park just outside of the city at 5079 Lincoln Park Road. The park sits amidst Lincoln legacy land, which encompasses the original home of Abraham’s mother, Nancy Hanks Lincoln, as well as replicas of the 1782 cabin and blacksmith shop where Lincoln’s father Thomas, was reared and learned his trade. The home of Mordecai Lincoln, the president’s favorite uncle, is also here, along with split-rail fences and pioneer furniture that portray the rugged pioneer life. Lincoln Homestead Park is not all about history though. It is also home to worldclass golf on a course designed nearly 50 years ago by Perry Maxwell, who designed

A Piece of History Lost In previous issues we encouraged you to visit the Mt. Zion Covered Bridge, Lost in March of 2021 to fire, the Mt. Zion Covered Bridge was the state’s oldest, longest, and most western covered bridge. It recently underwent a 500-day restoration project to bring life back into the Washington County landmark. Located on KY 458, only the pillars remain of the bridge that sat above the Little Beech Fork River in Mooresville. It was the last of seven covered bridges in the county, and one of only 16 remaining in the state. According to documents from the National Register of Historic Places, “At one time, Kentucky had hundreds of covered bridges spanning her rivers. Just prior to World War II, 65 were still standing. By 1952, the numbers had shrunk to 39. Now, only 15 remain.”

The Great Outdoors Washington County is nestled in the heart of scenic central Kentucky. The rural area is rich in rivers, lakes, woodlands, and wildlife. If you are longing to get out on the water the Rotary Park at the Reservoir may be the place for you. Just a gravel parking lot with a small boat ramp only one year ago, the park underwent a major overhaul in the spring and summer of 2021. With donated funds and volunteer labor, the Springfield Rotary Club upgraded the boat ramp area to include a paved, well-lit parking area, a handicapped accessible dock and kayak launch, and a new boat ramp. The Rotary Park at the Reservoir is a great place to fish or simply enjoy the scenic views and watch the native wildlife. Several eagles have been seen nesting in the area around the reservoir and wildlife abounds. The park is located just west of the city on Booker Road. The reservoir is the water supply for the City of Springfield, but if you want to see where the rest of the county gets its water

Time for Fun Springfield and Washington County host a number of festivals and annual events that are sure to please.
Sorghum Festival When fall is in the air that means one thing, it is time for the Sorghum Festival. The festival normally held the first weekend of October has a variety of things to offer festival goers and vendors as well. What started out in 1977 as a Fall Flea Market soon blossomed into a festival focused on sorghum. Through the years the festival has carried a few different titles but came back to the original name of The Sorghum Festival in 2014. With the name change came a festival that has heavily embraced its heritage, celebrating the long history that Washington County has with the high-sprouting grain. In 2019 the Sorghum Festival offered a 5K, a Prince and Princess contest, a parade, a corn-hole competition, classic car cruise-in, and a Frog Jumping Frenzy competition. The event was canceled in 2020 due to COVID with the exception of the 5K which runners were able to complete on their own. This event also has coincided with the Jim Beam Barbecue Classic Cook-Off, which is a competition that showcases some of the best barbecue cookers in the nation. The 2021 Sorghum Festival is scheduled for Saturday, October 2. Due to COVID it will be a one-day only event in 2021. For more information, visit www. springfieldkychamber.com.

African-American Heritage Festival On the first Friday of August, Washington County comes together to celebrate the area’s African-American heritage. Each year, the festival has a different theme that celebrates various aspects of the local African-American citizens’ heritage, varying from topics like local military personnel, athletes, Motown and the 2019 theme, a focus on past and present African-American churches in Washington County. The festival, now in its 17th year, has become one of the town’s most popular events, with Nell Haydon, former director of Springfield’s Main Street Renaissance program, estimating that it is probably the largest festival Springfield has. She added that the festival is one of the most important — and most fun — events in the area. “It’s a fun time for everyone, and every year, we get to document a little more about our African American heritage here,” Haydon said. The festivities typically begin with the opening of food vendors one hour prior to the annual parade (a crowd favorite), which is then followed by a free concert. The event was canceled in 2020 due to COVID and the 2021 festival has been rescheduled to October 1. The festival is set to be held the day before the Sorghum Festival.

Martin Luther King Jr. Celebration Join the Holy Rosary Church as it hosts the annual celebration in remembrance of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Every year, community members are welcomed to participate in a walk/motorcade that begins at the Washington County Industries Building and takes a scenic route to Holy Rosary Church. Washington County superintendent Dr. J. Robin Cochran has provided a school bus in recent years for members of the community who wish to march but are unable to do so. The march will continue to be in city limits so those without access to transportation are in walking distance and can join. The celebration ends with a presentation from renowned guests and a community choir from multiple churches. For the 2020 celebration, Springfield welcomed the featured guest speaker Marcus Ray, president of the Kentucky NAACP. Organizer Tyrone Burton said he encourages all churches and people to come together for the celebration. “We would like for the whole community to be involved in the program and march,” Burton said. “It’s not only a march for our African American churches, it’s for all denominations. We’re all in this together.”

Our Religious Heritage
“The Kentucky Holy Land” website tells the history of our religious roots and how the frontier saw the light when Catholics began coming into Kentucky in 1775. Many of those earlier believers settled in the heart of the Bluegrass, in the counties of Nelson, Marion and Washington – what would become known as “The Kentucky Holy Land.” They were soon joined by protestants and the religious heritage of the area took root. According to the website this is where Stephen Badin, the first priest to be ordained in America, came in 1795 and set up residence at what is today the Sisters of Loretto. He was followed by Charles Nerinckx and the Dominican friars in 1805, and Benedict Joseph Flaget in 1811. Flaget was knows as the “First Bishop of the West,” serving the newly designated Diocese of Bardstown. The diocese stretched from the Great Lakes to the Gulf Coast, the Allegheny Mountains to the Mississippi River. Under Flaget’s influence, other religious establishments took root – many of them

Twelve sites in Washington County appear on “The Kentucky Holy Land” website, www. kyholyland.org. The following eight Washington County churches are highlighted on the website and the text reprinted here with permission.
St. Rose Priory
Founded in 1806, St. Rose Priory was the first foundation of the Dominican Friars (Order of Preachers) in the United States. The friars, who came from England, established St. Thomas of Aquin College (1812-1828), the first Catholic educational institute west of the Alleghenies. One of the famous names on the college’s roster is Jefferson Davis, President of the Confederacy. The priory served as the novitiate for the St. Joseph Province intermittently for nearly 150 years. The original Tudor Gothic Church, built in 1809, is now the sanctuary of the current church. The frontal addition was constructed in 1855. 868 Loretto Rd., Springfield, KY 40069
St. Catharine Motherhouse
In 1822 nine women from St. Rose Parish formed the first congregation of Dominican Sisters in the United States, near Cartwright Creek. The current St. Catharine Motherhouse was constructed in 1904 after a fire destroyed the original location. This building housed an academy and a residence for the Sisters until the academy closed in 1971. In 2009 the St. Catharine Dominicans joined with seven other congregations to become the Dominican Sisters of Peace. Located on the grounds is the 700-acre St. Catharine Farm, a member of Kentucky Proud, whose 300 head of beef cattle are non-ASH (no antibiotics, steroids or hormones). 2645 Bardstown Rd., St. Catharine, KY 40061 Discover Washington County

Springfield Presbyterian Church
The Springfield Presbyterian Church was organized in 1788 by “Scotch-Irish” pioneers from Virginia who settled in what is now Washington and Marion Counties. This early date distinguishes the congregation as the oldest in Washington County. Terah Templin, who served as the church’s first minister, was a renowned circuit preacher. He was one of the first ordained ministers in pioneer Kentucky. John Caldwell, a community founder who later became Lt. Governor of Kentucky, was an early Elder and representative to Presbytery from this church. The church occupied two other sites prior to 1827 when it built the first of several buildings at the current Main Street location. The oldest structure today is the 1836 bell tower which was preserved when the current brick church was built in 1888. 140 East Main St., Springfield, KY 40069
Holy Rosary (Springfield) Holy Rosary Church located on Rosary Heights in Springfield was established in 1929 by the Dominican Fathers of St. Rose Church. The church was founded to ensure that African American Catholics in the community could have their own church to promote faith, have a place for worship and maintain the identity and traditions of African Americans. The first church was completely destroyed by fire on election night in 1933. Plans were made immediately to rebuild and the present church was rededicated in 1934 by Louisville Archbishop John A. Floersh. 378 Rosary Height Rd, Springfield, KY 40069
Holy Rosary (Manton)
Situated on the waters of Hardin’s Creek in the village of Manton, formerly known as Blincoe, the church’s cornerstone was laid November 2, 1844. In the early years of its history, the church was a mission of Holy Cross Church. The first recorded baptism was that of a Joseph R. Berry, born July 12, 1866, of Thomas and Julia Berry. Father Patrick Thomas Faunt was pastor at the time. In February of 1932, the church became a mission of Holy Trinity Church of Fredericktown and this status remains the same to this day.

Our Religious Heritage
Holy Trinity Church
Holy Trinity Church was built in 1883 in the valley where the Beech Fork River and Cartwright Creek meet. Holy Trinity was established due to the tireless efforts and ardent desires of the citizens of the Fredericktown community. The original church was replaced in 1955 with an impressive structure built of Bedford stone. The tower of the old church was placed in the copper tower of the new church. The Ursuline Sisters of Mount St. Joseph served the parish from 1916-1978. Church members still hold great gratitude for the Sisters’ sixty two years of service. 306 Fredricktown Rd, Springfield, KY 40069
St. Dominic Church
St. Dominic Church in Springfield was first located on Armory Hill and was dedicated in January, 1844. As church membership grew in the town in the mid-1800’s, a new location was secured on Main Street. The new church was blessed in 1894 by Bishop McCloskey. St. Dominic Church did have a school in earlier years, but the present school was built in 1929 and was staffed by the Kentucky Dominican Sisters from St. Catharine Motherhouse. As membership grew once again, a church annex and auditorium were constructed and dedicated in 2010. 303 W. Main St., Springfield, KY 40069
Present Grove Presbyterian Church On a beautiful hill six miles north of Springfield, this historic church was organized in 1833, with the present building being erected in 1836. In 1899 remodeling included raising the roof, new pews and stained-glass windows. Presently the church and cemetery form one of the most beautiful and historic places in Washington County. 375 Pleasant Grove Loop, Springfield, KY 40069
